The author is every bit as annoying as a music or drama critic: they have added nothing to the greatness of human advancement and achievement, created no masterwork, not inspired millions- and yet they feel qualified to criticize those who have.

The opinions of such mean no more to me than those of critics who’ve never won an Oscar, Emmy or Tony, book reviewers who have never had a best seller or music critics who have never made a platinum album.

And worshipful proclamations from Musk acolytes mean less to me than the squeakings of mice.
It is amazing what one can accomplish on taxpayer money.
Gotta love the taxpayer subsidy!

No, Musk isn't proposing to build a bridge between the sun and the nearest star (that project is no doubt still in the planning stages). Instead, Starlink involves launching over 4,000 satellites in order to provide satellite-based broadband internet access to the entire planet (that's Earth, in case you've lost track).



Our Doves, which make up the world’s largest constellation of Earth-imaging satellites, “line scan” the planet to image the entire Earth daily. We launch new satellites into orbit every three or four months.   https://www.planet.com/company/approach/
 
 
 
Operating one satellite is a challenge. Operating two hundred is unprecedented.
 
With 175+ satellites in orbit...
